Wizard's Winter poured a clear, maroon color with a thumb width, off white head.  The aroma is deep, with biscuity malt, and spices.  The body is smooth with a little bready malt and some light spices.  The finish is crisp and leaves a yeasty dryness on the palate.  Wizard left a small amount of lace on the glass.  Overall, not a bad beer, but certainly not Middle Ages' best.  The middle is a little thin and the spices are a bit to much up front.
